MUSE

...One of my favorite bands.

I missed their first and only concert in Riga on July of 2007 because I had to go to the sea.
I even cant express in words how sad and frustrated I was because of that.They are like one of the best live bands in history.
Hope someday I will have an honour to be present at their live show.

ooh yeah i can easily understand what you feel, i felt the same way for a placebo gig, well at least i had the chance to see them after this one i missed in Arras.
I hope you'll be able to see them :)
i've already see them live twice, but i will never forget the 1st time i saw them, it was at the parc des princes in Paris and i think there aren't enough words to describe it !
well last time was great too, just the happyness was darkened by troubles with people in the pit ... a pity !
anyway
Muse is real great band, a stadium band, and a live band indeed.

I reeaally like them, too!!!
I'll see them on Rock am Ring this year!!

^ me too

I saw them in Hamburg in 2006, and it was so great! I was smiling till the next day...

great rock band indeed! Got some of their albums and this is really good music

I'm going to "break your euphoria" 'cause I don't agree with you as I dislike this band...I think they haven't evolved for 5 years and all their songs look like each other. However it's just my point of view

Meghan,
But where can they evolve if they already are in the zone where others bands dont even dream to come?
It is ultra hard to evolve further for them because there is no unexplored spaces.
And despite this they still managed to find something new, like on the last record, 3 last songs(symphonies).

@ soulmate: yay WE''re gonna see them at Rock am Ring!!!

@ lonelynx: well i really like muse (even though i don't like their latest album as much but thats not the point now) but i think that if a band stops to evolve they should really stop making music cause there is no point in making it anymore. as a very wise man once put it, its all about always topping yourself, always getting better etc. and i totally agree that if a band produces the "same" music for years ther is no point in them going on, even if the music is amazing... my pov though.

and i lovelovelove muse. never saw them live though cause there gigs near-ish me always collided with placebo gigs somewhere across europe :P but RAR this year

Lonelynx I agree with you on one point : it's very difficult to make music and evolve but it's possible ; )

Meghan, Neon,

I wrote that last 3 tracks from the last album really show that they evolve themselves as artists.
And of course I agree that evolving is important.I know it from my own experience, I play in a band.
Sometimes evolving comes naturally.Sometimes you force it to happen.Because it's really boring to write same song again and again.
Ofcourse, Nickelback will have different opinion.

I love Muse, one of my favourite bands. After failing miserably to see them live until last year, I'm now making up for it. I saw them three times in a week last November and will also see them at the Rock im Park and Frequency festivals and at Wembley in September. I can't wait. And I hope they throw a few surprises into the setlist because while they are amazing live, their setlists don't change as much as they could do.

^i guess most bands DONT change their setlists that much anyway which i think is a shame cause it would make it more interesting for us and i would have said for them as well cause they dont have to play the same songs over and over again each night...

it's a mistery why they don't

Muse have started a poll on their website encouraging fans to vote for the songs they want on the setlist at each of the summer shows. They have said they will try and play at least one of the top three for each show. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't seem to have understood that this is THE chance to get some rarities on the setlist and are still voting for songs like Hysteria and Plug in Baby which will always be played anyway.

I've gone for Dark Shines, Thoughts of a Dying Atheist and Showbiz but I don't think I'll get to hear any of them. Maybe Dark Shines if I'm really lucky.

^ thats a really sweet idea to do that! but stupid that people dont use the opportunity to get "rarities" on the setlist...

ooh yeah what a great idea ! i need to go to vote for Darkshines and Thoughts of a dying atheist too !
it's such a shame people don't understand that you don't need to vote for songs as hysteria or time is running out to get to hear them live =(

I'll definetely vote for Showbiz, one of their greatest tracks ever!
Matt's voice on this is not from our planet.

Well, if any of you want to help me and what is probably a lost cause... The shows I'm going to are Rock im Park, Frequency Festival and Wembley Stadium (11th September). Any votes for Dark shines, Thoughts of a dying atheist and/or Showbiz would be much appreciated

I'm definitely in =P
even if i'm not gonna see them this year i'd love to see some videos =)

I don't know about you, but none of these really appeal. And only one of them has MUSE written like in the logo.

They will play in Sweden on the 21st of July, that's my birthday.
I wish I lived in Sweden, that would be totally awesome.

I can totally relate. The Killers, Franz Ferdinand and White Lies played in Rome on my birthday last year. What a line-up. I would have loved to have been there. I've never been to Rome and then three of my favourite bands on the same evening. Wow.

Muse to play Positivus Festival 2010, Latvia!
OMG!!!
I'm the happiest person in the worl right now!

woooow that's a great piece of news =) glad for you ^^

My GOD, this new song for "Twilight" movie is so dramatically bad!
Of course I like everything they do, but still I find this song below their level...
It's really cheesy and unoriginal.Probably they try to become more famous in the USA with this.
